House of Genji Reviews
I’ve been coming here for years and my last visit was very disappointing. Food portions are getting smaller and prices are higher. My food had no flavor at all . Our cook Louis was very slow and didn’t interact with us at all. Sorry Louis. Drinks are always good.
Great dining. Cool people and great food
Great place to celebrate family 🎂

House of Genji is a long-standing favorite for many visitors, known for its consistent food quality and a fun dining experience. The chef puts on a really good show, which can be exciting but might scare some children. The prawns were mentioned as slightly overcooked, while the chicken was also noted to be a little overcooked. However, the mustard sauce remains a highlight, and the scallops are described as spectacular. The portions are generous, and everything tasted delicious, including the hummingbird cocktail. While the to-go boxes may need improvement, the restaurant is accommodating for families with young children. For those seeking a quick bite, be prepared for potentially long wait times and minimal service. It is important to note that birthday dinners are only free if four meals are purchased, so guests should be aware of that. Overall, House of Genji continues to be an amazing restaurant for many.
